Satellite Radio on the Rocks → ... never was a good idea ...

... IMHO ... could never see it being successful ... and I listen to a LOT of music, but I'd prefer to select it myself ...

... why pay for a service that does what your cd or tape player will do as well or better, and you already have them ... convenience is only worth so much, it seems ...

Actually while I listen to mostly intelligent radio->AM. I do enjoy quite a bit the cable radio where the DJs know how to shut the hell up. Its not always party time at 730am while im driving to work. Nor do I hear b!tches and hos shakin they booty while im driving to church...

I enjoy the randomness and continuousness of the music. Throw in an NPR or BBC, I would certainly get on board.

I just can't buy proprietary hardware for a proprietary signal and may or may not exist in 6 months...I can not and I will not.

What will they do with the satellites if they go belly up? Open source em?
